Chapter 712 Alexander's Offense and Defense

Galerius's behavior did not make Sima Ji nervous. If he persuaded a Roman Caesar in just a few words, he would not take the ruler of an empire seriously. No matter how singular it was, he would always see the truth on the battlefield.

Of course, the result is that the Egyptians and Germans in both camps have paid a lot of money. This is simply tacit, and it is a bit of a sense of fake football in the World Cup. Of course, the tacit understanding does not exist. This is a battlefield, and a victory or defeat must be decided. Sima Ji doesn't think that if he gets rid of it, Galerius will let him go.

Requesting peace is asking for peace, and fighting is also a serious battle. The two cannot be confused. At night, the city of Alexandria was brightly lit and the siege continued until late at night. After the Romans retreated, the generals and schools of Jin army were immediately busy settling down the wounded soldiers, counting the materials such as rolling wood, rocks, and turbulence. They were not idle all night, and they came to the city early in the morning to encourage the soldiers and the recruited crusaders. At this point, the students trained by Sima Ji inherited their own traditions, and even when they treated the minions, they would never be stingy in terms of treatment.

"I am very safe. Tang Qiang doesn't have to be so anxious. We must ensure the winning rate. I will give him enough time to seize the fighter plane and defeat it." Sima Ji still looked unhurried as he listened to the situation of exploring the horse. It was not that Sima Ji was so narcissistic. He had long thought that he had already been invincible after fighting the Eight Kings Rebellion.

Even if the Romans and Persians were not inferior to the Great Jin Dynasty, they were probably not much stronger. The facts that have been traveling west have proved this. He gathered elite soldiers extracted from the population of 30 million in the Great Jin Dynasty, and this era could not be defeated in 300 AD.

I have to say that the secret confidence of the King of Yan at this time is comparable to the war on the third line in the late Jin Dynasty. The war on the Later Jin Dynasty was to be dealt with at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and he also thought that he could do it completely, and he looked as if he was taken for granted.

"The general is not for other reasons. I just feel that the battle cannot be successful now. The King of Yan can understand this. I believe that General Tang Qiang will calm down." Detective Ma Qianen said with gratitude, "After all, heavy cavalry is not beautiful to use for assaults, and the conditions required are stricter."

"Of course I understand. Tang Qiang was also raised by me, that is, I don't have the habit of accepting adopted sons, otherwise there would have been many Tai Guardians." Sima Ji was not playing with the kindness and power of the superiors, that's what he really thought.

And if his sons hadn't been many, he might have really learned from King Li Keyong of Jin and got a Thirteenth Grandma. But just forget it, the number of people he can choose is greater than that of Li Keyong. Students in Yanshan Camp graduated every five years and were recruited every year, so they could not be collected.

Although Sima Ji was sure that under his conditioning, the Jin Dynasty was completely sufficient for the standard of prosperity. But this was the case in ancient times. When the weather was good, there were countless literati and poets who came out to brag about it. It was easy to find orphans to cultivate them into the empire’s confidants.

These orphans can have independent thinking and live a life without being confused and chaotic. This is a great thing. After returning to the court, these students who know the greatest things in the world can make the people in their hometowns understand awe when they return to various places.

In the geographical environment of the Central Plains, once the world is invincible for too long, some people will not be able to control their desire to die. Of course, this problem is shared by humans. If the American emperors in later generations were not too greedy and wanted to make the most money decently. Let the whole world work and work on their own offices.

Just like the world situation after the collapse of the Soviet Union, how could hegemony be unstable in twenty years? You should know that the industrial era is a world with very distinct strengths and weaknesses. It is not the agricultural era. There is actually not such a big gap between big countries and small countries. In the industrial era, if we want to catch up, the first-mover countries have already set up countless traps, like filters, filtering out the fish that leaked the net over and over again. With the attitude of the US empire looking down on the world after the 1990s, if we are more cautious, chaos will not occur frequently in twenty years.

With China's historical experience in the position of the US imperialist, Sima Ji can say very responsibly that with the strong foundation of the US imperialist, China can never see hope when it suppresses the US imperialist. The US imperialist still has not fallen into a big flaw. The new country always thinks that it is invincible in the world and does not understand the principle of one rising and the other falling.

"Why didn't you learn from the history of the Roman Empire by calling yourself a modern version of the Roman Empire?" Sima Ji sighed, thinking about dealing with the Roman Empire in front of you. Later American empires didn't need his sympathy.

The distant sound of the military horn faintly came into his ears. Sima Ji knew that the Romans were coming again. At first, he wanted to use the suona to attack the Romans. Later, he thought about it and forgot, but he couldn't stand the sound of the suona himself. Don't be uncomfortable with yourself in defense and fighting.

The sound of the military trumpet also alarmed the Jin army resting in the city. When they stood up and looked out, they saw that tens of thousands of troops had gathered on the farmland in the east. What attracted the attention of the Jin army soldiers was that in front of the Roman army, there were even a high-mounted pointed wooden towers and siege hammers that appeared for the first time. This made people gasp. This time the attack would no longer be a small fight.

"Woooooooo..." As the endless horns sounded, tens of thousands of Roman legion soldiers shouted uniform trumpets, dragged dozens of well railings, and slowly crushed them. Looking at the towering siege towers and catapults, bringing a huge sense of oppression.

The matter of defending the city was actually quite unfamiliar to the soldiers of the Jin army, especially those who fought with the King of Yan. Although Jicheng was built into a solid fortress by the King of Yan, it has never been used.

This is the first time that many people feel this suffocating feeling of oppression behind the city wall, watching the enemy mobilize siege equipment to crush him.

The neat Roman army horns have some strange rhythm and must be admitted. In terms of appearance, the Roman legion is indeed much stronger than all the opponents encountered by the Jin army before, and even stronger than the Jin army in the former mainland.

The order was forbidden. Almost at the same time, the soldiers of the Roman Legion stopped their pace. Amid the sound of uniform trumpets, teams of Roman soldiers suddenly exerted force and pulled it hard. In an instant, more than a dozen huge swing arms had already bounced into the air. The hanging basket connected to the far end of the swing arms was roaring and thrown into the air. After rising to the highest point, the huge rock contained in the swing basket was suddenly thrown out in front.

Roman catapults are also the standard configuration for the Roman legion when siegeing the city. In fact, this catapult is not very similar to the eastern catapults. To be precise, it is a torsional catapult. Relying on twisted ropes to generate force ejection. The ejection rod is usually upright, and the top of the rod is a leather bullet bag filled with projectiles. The lower end of the rod is inserted into a tightly twisted horizontal rope. When ejecting, first use a winch to pull the ejection rod to a position close to the level of the water torque dipper and put the projectile in it. When loosening the winch rope, the ejection rod returns to a vertical position to shoot the projectile out.

The biggest advantage of this catapult is that it is not that it has a larger ammunition capacity and a longer range than the catapults in the Jin Dynasty, but that it is more manpower-saving. With the advancement of the Roman Empire in war and siege technology, it has become more and more sophisticated.

Live ammunitions were shot out by a torsion catapult. The Egyptians guarding the city suddenly became riots. They shouted and walked around to avoid each other. Under the crowding of each other, several Egyptians were actually squeezed down the wall and injured.

"Doesn't live ammunition from the catapult, and even if there is a distance, our catapult will fight back." The core of the Jin army's infantry battle was the Dragon Que Camp. Sima Ji was not on the front line to take risks, and the entire city defense work became Zhou Rong's business. So the entire army admitted the status of the Dragon Que Camp, as if he had no problems at all.

Facing the whistling stone bomb, Zhou Rong did not dare to neglect. The generals and officers of the Jin army, like King Yan, were equal to everyone. They did not think that the Roman stone-treating machine was a fake and had no great power. The half-body armor of the Dragon Que Camp has an effect on weapons within the human power range, but this is obviously not an attack within the human power range.

Zhou Rong, who was calling the soldiers to avoid him, suddenly raised his warning in his heart. As soon as he looked up, he saw a stone bullet whistling down at his position, "I'm so fucked..."

Zhou Rong's body reaction was not slower than the speed of applying honey in his mouth. He rushed directly to a goalkeeper beside him. On-the-spot reaction could definitely be the No. 1 national gate of China in later generations. With a bang, smoke and dust were everywhere. The position where he just landed was already smashed to a depression. With a loud "boom", some broken pieces collapsed on Zhou Rong's body and made a metal-like sound.

The commander of the Ten Thousand People Dragon Crow Camp was almost reimbursed in a foreign land during the first round of attacks. Zhou Rong secretly said lucky, and the back of the half-armor had already burst into cold sweat.

Among the loud Roman warlocks, rows of stone bullets were thrown into the city of Alexandria. However, the precise strike just now was obviously luck. There were very few stone bullets that actually hit the city. Most of the stone bullets fell on the city wall, leaving shallow pits on the city wall.

While the torsional catapult was constantly showing its power, the siege tower was gradually approaching the wall of Alexandria. Push it near the wall, then lower the suspension bridge and lay it on the enemy's wall. The army crossed the suspension bridge to attack and occupy a foothold on the wall.

The soldiers of the Jin army on the city wall did not sit idly by and kept using rockets to prevent the siege tower from getting closer and closer, but it was obvious that the Romans had doubled. The siege tower was fire-proofed, which made the Jin army archers' actions to ignite the siege tower.
